The needle had been lost 3months previously during an attempt to inject heroin into the left jugularvein. With axillary limited thoracotomy after attempted thoracoscopy, theneedle was finally found in the left upper lobe of the lung, most probablycausing the pneumothorax. At least no other pathologies of the lung weredetected and, after surgery, no further pneumothorax occurred. The case isdiscussed in relation to similar cases described in the medicalliterature. © Springer-Verlag 1995 European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Elsevier Science B.V. 9/4(1995-04), 216-217 1010-7940 9:4<216 1995 9 ejcts https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-7940(05)80149-6 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-7940(05)80149-6 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Elsevier Science B.V 9/4(1995-04), 216-217 1010-7940 9:4<216 1995 9 ejcts Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
